"Ma'am, just to let you know I'm back from the dentist." Jen stepped into Mac's office through the open door.

"Everything okay?" Mac asked.

"Yes thank you ma'am."

"Come in and take a seat, and I'll tell you who you missed a wonderful visit from."

"Who was that ma'am?" Jen asked as she sat down.

"Our great friends at NCIS."

"Gibbs?" Jen questioned.

"And DiNozzio." Mac supplied. "They came while Faith and I were at lunch, so I made them wait until I was done."

"Didn't they get enough search warrants yesterday?" Jen questioned.

"Apparently not. McGee, who reminds me a lot of Bud a few years ago, missed a couple out."

"I bet that was fun ma'am."

"Yeah." Mac replied sarcastically. "But on a positive note all the paperwork is done for today."

"That's good ma'am."

"By the way how did your interview go with Brett?"

"Nothing I wasn't really expecting ma'am. Then Captain Rabb turned up and insisted he knew exactly what we had discussed."

"You know he's just looking out for your best interests' right?"

"Yes ma'am." Jen smiled.

"Good. Well since we have another few hours and nothing that we have to do. Why don't we try and get ahead on what's coming up?" Mac suggested.

"Yes ma'am. I'll go and arrange what we need."

"Jen, I think you have a visitor." Mac said nodding towards the door.

Jen turned around to see Tiner hovering in the door.

"Excuse me ma'am." Jen got up and walked to the door and talked to her husband. When he left Jen returned to her seat.

"Everything okay?" Mac asked.

"He has to work late. The Admiral needs him to go somewhere after work which he can't tell me about." Jen replied.

"If you want some company you can come over a visit?" Mac offered.

"No. I think I'll repaint the walls if it's all the same to you ma'am. We went with terracotta and it makes the room too dark."

"Sounds fun. I still have to come up with a design for the twins' room."

"You've got a few months yet ma'am." Jen pointed out.

"But I'm going to be bigger this time. I'm getting a pretty decent bump now as it is."

"I was reading this article in a magazine while I was waiting for my appointment."

"What was it about?" Mac asked.

"Pregnancy yoga classes. Apparently it can help with backache, sore knees, headaches, digestive problems and it promotes calmness, focus and balance."

"Sounds like heaven." Mac said. "I should see if there are any classes in the area. I could take Harriet with me."

"Do you want me to look into if for you ma'am?" Jen asked.

"No, I'll do it." Mac replied. "But thanks for the idea."

"You're welcome ma'am."

"Okay, this paperwork is done. How about a drink?"

"I'll go and get them ma'am. Herbal tea?"

"Iced water." Mac replied.

"I'm not sure they'll have ice but I'll see what I can do." Jen rose.
